Objective: To know the prevalence of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs among university students. Methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional study, 434 students of the University Center of Biological and Agricultural Sciences of the University of Guadalajara, randomly selected, of both sexes, were questionnaires about the consumption of alcohol tobacco and other drugs, the statistical analysis was made through the student's t test and the X 2 test. Results In the present study, 49% were women and 51% men, 84.6% consume some alcohol, and beer was the preferred drink. 26.7% are smokers, with a higher representation for men (over 33.5%) while women were 19.7% showing statistically significant difference (p<0.01). 12.8% of the surveyed people used illegal drugs in the last month, and 23.8% in the last year. 35.9% consumed some illicit drug at least once in their life, the main illegal drug used was marijuana. Conclusions: In the present study, a high percentage of students consumed alcohol that increased the risk of using illegal drugs (OR = 2.64; IC 95%: 1.22 -5.73). It is necessary to implement programs on the part of the university authorities oriented to the prevention and reduction of the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other addictive substances.
Introducción. Los estudiantes universitarios son un grupo vulnerable que se encuentra en proceso de formación, con hábitos alimentarios en muchos casos no saludables que pueden afectar el rendimiento académico. Objetivo. Identificar la relación entre el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y el rendimiento académico de los alumnos del Centro Universitario de Ciencias Biológicas y Agropecuarias de la Universidad de Guadalajara. Metodología. Es un estudio de casos y controles, para lo cual se tomó peso y estatura de los estudiantes y se calculó el IMC, se formaron dos grupos: casos (estudiantes con bajo peso, sobrepeso y obesidad) y controles (normopeso). El rendimiento académico fue clasificado en tres categorías: Excelente/Muy Bueno (90-100), Bueno (80-89) y Regular/Malo (< 80), de acuerdo a su situación académica se catalogaron como: titulados, egresados, activos y estudiantes irregulares. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson, pruebas de media y desviación standar y prueba t de student. Resultados. Participaron 200 alumnos, 97 casos (13% tuvieron bajo peso, 26.5% sobrepeso y 9% obesidad) y 103 controles (51.5%). El 40.5% de alumnos con sobrepeso presentaron rendimiento académico significativamente menor (p<0.05) en relación al 13.5% con normopeso. Conclusiones. En esta muestra de estudio se encontró una correlación negativa y significativa entre el IMC y el promedio académico.
A study was conducted among students of the Biological and Agricultural Sciences University Center of the University of Guadalajara, with the objective of verifying the knowledge of the risk involved in ingesting unpasteurized dairy products and how this impacts their consumption habits. The study was
The educational process has experienced impact in its face-to-face modality with the creation of new virtual scenarios supported by technologiesand the way of conducting activities has changed. To adapt to current needs, educational institutions must become more flexible and developways to integrate information and communication technologies (ITs) in training processes, knowledge acquisition and skill development in thefield of education. Within the tools is any device that has internet and at the same time provides information available anywhere and at any time,facilitating communication. The applications must guarantee the quality of the teaching practices carried out by the teacher. The objective of thestudy was to know the use of ITs in the application of activities and the development of skills in students of the Animal Health and WelfareManagement Competition I of Veterinary Medicine. The data obtained show that 100% of the students use technological tools with the Internetto carry out their online activities, homework, practices and integrating projects. However, there are times when they cannot enter due to lack ofinternet connection. 2% mention that not having the internet makes learning difficult. The use of ITs and their application helped thedevelopment of skills, performance and increased self-learning in students enrolled in the subject. The use of technology guarantees interactivework between work teams and at the same time as a means of communication. The platforms also use learning tools as a means of support and arepository of activities. There are disadvantages such as not having enough time, not having internet or data, so teachers must be flexible andprovide help, solve problems and look for alternatives that do not interfere with academic performance.
